How Texting Helps Companies Keep Workers Informed and Provide Them with COVID-19 Training

Companies across the world are having to prioritize employee and customer safety while still running a business under these difficult circumstances. Ensuring your employees have a channel to reach out to management is utterly important, especially as states open up business again. Text messaging can be used for many different purposes such as serving as a lifeline for employees to immediately communicate with superiors or for organizing updated compliance or health and safety training.  

Among the important topics being discussed by companies right now are how to: a) protect employees and b) protect the public. Across this nation, states are setting strict guidelines for cleaning and sanitation practices as businesses resume operations. No company wants to be responsible for spreading COVID-19 in their establishment. That scenario would be highly detrimental to an organization, their shareholders, and their company image. As businesses navigate thisever-changing landscape, communicating the latestoperating procedures with their employees is crucial. Companies want everyone to feel safe and this requires constant communication as the situation changes daily.
